That is good to hear! May I ask you some questions? Are you male/female, and how old? Did the anosmia happen suddenly, or gradually? Was the cold you had among...
-well first things first-I am female 55 years old. I was about 47 when it happened. Yes,it was a very bad illness.Kinda like the flu. Anosmia happened when I...

Pat - your experience sounds just like mine. I had a bad stuffed head with fever and became anosmic about 2 weeks ago. I'm the same age you were when it...
I'm glad what I said helped-it's wierd,isn't it? Nobody really realizes the changes one must go thru nor do people genuinely feel it's a disability. I sure...
Hi This is my first posting to this group as I just found it. I have been reading lots and find you know more than the ENTs I have seen. History: I lost my...
... diet! I do also appreciate the side effects of prednisone-they made me very jumpy. I really do not know enough about polyps to say if a scan is worth the...
If you plan on getting surgery eventually to remove the polyps if the prednisone doesn't work long term, it might not hurt to get a scan to gauge the size of...
I am new to the group. I noticed that I lost my ability to smell approximately one year ago. There is no obstruction. The physician specialist feels that the...
Oh I see.........can you smell at all? Did it gradually diminish,or happen in conjunction with a cold? I'll bet you might find a few similiar stories on...
I'd very much appreciate any helpful feedback that anyone may have. I've lost my sense of taste/smell for about 7 weeks now. I've had no head trauma and I've...
John: My Ent initially went with the same treatments + antibiotics + zinc. Unfortunately they didn't work. I saw that article about the DC clinic. There's a...

Hi John I've been to the clinic, but if you've read my article and FAQ then you know that already. It's a bit of a minefield finding treatment, and nobody can...
Pat, How much of a loss did you have during the three years? And how did it return: What I mean by that, gradually over months, or was it faster than that? ...
Mike-my loss was total for about two and a half years. Once in awhile for the next six months after that,I had occasional smell but it would go away...

no,I can't say I did-I could still detect sweet sour,salty, and their sensations (and sure could detect spicy foods) Your Mom may have something else going...
You say she has a horrible sensation. What is it like? Is it a burning sensation or a cottony sensation? Or are you talking about her sense of taste, a...
Sorry to hear that. Have you tried oral systemic steroids? You consider doing that first. If they don't help, the Kenalog is unlikely to help. Cheers, Karl...
